how much to charge for this?

<p>So business is slow, and I'm open to new projects. I responded to a craigslist ad and this is what I got.</p>

<p>"Its a mobile home park. I'm looking to have someone take 75-100 digital pics which will need to be transferred electronically to me (uploaded to a website that I can download from, e.g. ftp).<br /> <br /> I would like photos of the park and views looking at neighboring land/buildings. Also, pics of each home (from the outside) - multiple homes can be in each photo. Any site infrastructure such as streets, curbs, septic, water well,entry features, lansdcaping, signage, rubbish around homes, maintenance equipment, etc. should all be included.<br /> <br /> I'm looking to get the pics within a week.<br>

How much do you feel is fair for this work?"</p>

<p>Hmm. With or without an armed escort while taking picture of every residence in a mobile home park? :-)<br /><br />Honestly, this sounds very straightforward. Practically no need for careful composition or worries about just-the-right-light ... and virtually no post production work. I would find out if the prospective client needs the images to be labeled in a way that records addresses/unit numbers, or mentions some other directional/location references while shooting the boundaries of the property. Or, will that person already know what they're looking at?<br /><br />Would also help to know what resolution you'd be creating and transferring - just for on-screen viewing, or will large prints be made, etc? And ... how far are you traveling to make this possible? <br /><br />I'd do work like that for about $100/hour, but it sounds like it would go quickly. You'd definitely need to know whether there's a couple hours more, or a couple hours less involved because of the need (or not) to tag/label each shot as part of the work.</p>

<p>We get requests like this from time to time and just charge our hourly rate plus the normal price for a disc of the images as though it were a portrait session.<br>
